Advice for Young Agents
☞ Be well educated in your products you will offer
☞ Have INTEGRITY - People need to be able to trust you above all ☞ A very tough outer skin to handle regular rejection ☞ Resiliency - the ability to bounce back after failure because you will see much of it ☞ Be well educated in ethics and compliance issues to maintain your license and retain the ability to educate prospects ☞ You must be part of a winning organization meaning the insurers and brokerage/agency you represent must be thoroughly competent ☞ Have a passion for the specific insurance product you market, if you attempt this career to make money as your number 1 priority you will indeed fail. ☞ PERSISTENCE - This is a seed planting business. Clients do not buy when you want them to, they buy when THEY WANT TO. This means you have to constantly be planting and nurturing your garden. By Randy E.
